Color Crush : Plum

I have been loving the bursts of plum I’ve been seeing in interiors lately. I especially enjoy it when it’s paired with a great gray, or boldly paired with turquoise or gold! Here’s a few examples of plum done oh-so-right.

I picked up a quart of a great plum from HD the other day. It’s “Folklore” from Behr.

The question is, will I be brave enough to put it on something? And the bigger question, if I put it on something, will someone buy it? ;) I’d hate to have the loveliest most daring plum dresser on the block sit around for ages because everyone admires her but doesn’t want her.

So, tell me: How do you feel about plum? Love it? Hate it? Does it excite you? Scare you?

Since purple is my favorite color, no matter the shade, I would say yum to plum! And now I desperately want that rug in your third picture! I think the plum would look great on furniture, maybe with some silver dry brushed over it.
